PSU Football: Do you demand excellence or are you satisfied with mediocrity?

[BobPSU92]

Let’s settle this once and for all.

I’m fine with mediocrity for PSU Football. Excellence is hard and intimidating. I can associate with mediocrity. That’s who I am (on a good day). They also say that it’s lonely at the top. I don’t want to be alone.

What about you?

That is not what she said.

If your goal is EXCELLENCE, but you only achieve mediocrity…. Then those who expect more from you will develop OUTRAGE.

This felt like a legitimate topic. We have some folks here critical of this year‘s performance by PSU because they DEMAND. EXCELLENCE. . They have been countered by folks satisfied with the results for one reason or another. The demanders feel that they are satisfied with MEDIOCRITY. . So let’s have a poll.

It's true, and I feel good that I've come clean and championed the cause of the mediocre. Mediocrity does not receive the praise it deserves.

Keep up the good work Bob. I have to abandon the pursuit of a long time goal to watch some TV Land reruns. I don't even know what's on.

Wow. In keeping with the thread, that is an emphatic nod to mediocrity.

If mediocrity is where PSU Football stands today......I'm fine.
Be right back....

I won't rest until the team wakes up in the morning and pisses excellence. If you're not first, you're last.

 

[Nitt1300]

A top ten finish IS excellence

 

[Karl_Havok]

The posters here who demand excellence should start with their posts on this forum. Until they can sustain excellence here I have no use for them.

 

[Moogy]

For those who "demand excellence" of OTHERS, while you sit around and do nothing ... tell me this, when these other people, who are actually doing things, finally obtain that excellence, and win that Natty ... now what? What does that do for you? Do you walk around proud of yourself because you cheered on someone who performed "excellently," rather than just "really well"? When the team loses, do you feel like a loser who cheers for other losers?

What's in it for you when you demand the excellence of others you had no part in obtaining?

 

[WVilleLion]

The problem is some feel that anything less than national championship is mediocre. There is no grey area with them.

They act like they are the arm chair version of Nick Saban.

I love paying more than the dealer is asking for a new car.

So our aim isn’t good right now?

 

[laKavosiey-st lion]

I’m softening my excellence stance based on the way STATE snuck into the top ten by ”beating Rutgers”.
What I’d LIKE is split every year with M or O and win a big ten title every 4 years. What I’m cool with is taking care of business vs the bums and going to a fun bowl and with a top 10 AP
I m also very excited to see reg season games in LA with son 1

The secret to success is to demand excellence from others while happily accepting mediocrity in yourself.

So which would you choose?

Excellence?

or Mediocre?

My standard for PSU Football is a Top 10 finish, regular CFP appearances (12 teams) and a B1G Title every 3 to 4 years. This to me would be consistent with what JoePa created and that standard should be maintained.

I would agree with this if the conditions were what they used to be- now that players are being paid, you have to factor that in. I don't think PSU is going to be a top ten salaried team.

STATE is unaware of your (our) being. You’re over thinking your (our) role. Insane take yo

Salaries aren't everything. Just look at tAM.

Drunken one, that was the point. We have no role here. We watch. So, why are you "demanding excellence" from others? You're just watching. What does it matter to you if OTHERS go undefeated, or if they lose a game or two? Just sit back, and be entertained for 13 weeks. They may lose every once in a while ... no big deal.

Here’s the question….

How much as a PSU fan would you be willing to contribute to a NIL fund to enable the program to attract and keep talent to bring us from mediocre to excellent?

- $1000
- $ 5000
- $ 10,000
- > $ 25,000

let’s put up or shut up guys.

Guaranteed results or keyboard bench pressing? I paid 350 to educate 1 n 2. I’m good.
